Two ongoing life wins today: Spiritual Directing and Being Known Podcast Listening

I’m up to episode 9 in season 11, which is entitled “Rupture and Repair.” This episode focused on mastering the art of repair.

23+ minutes into the conversation Curt said this:

Everybody needs the place where you can come and discharge…especially in the presence of someone else who can receive it. We need to know what needs to be discharged can be done in the presence of someone who can receive it.

He goes on to make the connection that everyone who pursues repairing ruptures is actually growing in their ability to be a peacemaker.

A peacemaker can then be someone who is growing in their understanding of how to manage their own ruptures.

A peacemaker is also someone who is a trusted receiver of someone’s responses to their ruptures.

Together peace is pursued.

Together repair is possible after rupture.

Rupture is coming. How can we grow in our response? Who can I lean on to be a receiver in my need for peace?

This was just one of many gems in this episode. Catch the full episode here:

NOTE: Spiritual Directors are receivers and peacemakers. It’s why I keep returning…and winning.
